The menu system

The DSP5500 offers a number of user choices which are normally
accessed less frequently than, for example, source and volume. To make
it easier to operate these less commonly used functions, we have
provided a flexible menu system to guide you through the options. One
important advantage this gives is complete flexibility for future system
control options. Please note:
The menus are different in Normal and Setup modes
To access the menus
1. Use the menu keys on the remote control w n s e
To move between menus

Tip This is also the way to review settings you have made. The DSP5500
will cycle through its menus, displaying the current choice in each one as
it goes.
In Setup mode, an additional menu item appears for boundary, corner or
free bass alignment.
To change the choice in a menu
1. Press either the n or the s menu key on the remote control
Balance
The balance control in the speaker is only used if you have two
DSP5500s connected as a conventional stereo pair.
If you have set up the DSP5500 as a centre-channel then the balance
control is ignored. If the speaker is used with a Meridian 565 Digital
Surround Processor, then the balance function is taken over by the 565.
See the manual supplied with 565.
Use of balance controls
The use of the balance control has been misunderstood for some time. It
has been assumed that you can use it to move the image to one side,
